Gentlemen:

Does anyone have a compare contrast photo of a ZR-1 w/ 315 vs. 335? I have found I am not not satisfied with the look of the Sumitomos that came on my car and if I can't find a decent 315, I am contemplating purchasing a 335 for the rear. Any problems with this size, ie rubbing, fitment on the standard rim, etc?

Thanks in advance for the advice. :thumbsup:

No clearance problems mounting 335's on the rear. :dancing

I've sen Michelin 335's on the Amolds and they look fine. I've seen no other brands. I am personally going to do the Goodyear GSD-3 in the 315 on mine. I think they look the absolute best, and looks matter to me as well. I've also been disappointed in the Sumitumo. I read somwhere that Khumo is making a 315 in our size. Anyone got a pic?

I've got Michelin 335s on A-molds. No issues at all. As to how they look -

Anyone know the tread depth and wear rating of each? Also, is the 335 a slightly larger overall diameter. I know they are both 17's.

They have the same tread depth, the Goodyear has a slightly higher wear rating. The old Pilots Sports I had lasted a very long time - even with a lot of abuse. I am now using the PS2's but haven't had enough road time to give much of an opinion on them yet. OD is close: 315 is 25.7in, 335 is 26.0in which is a difference of about 1mph at 60mph. So at an indicated 177mph you would actually be doing 180mph - not that I have ever done such a thing ;)

I don't care who you are, that there is funny!
